Your Role:

We take a lot of pride in delivering great looking and tasting veg boxes and recipe boxes to our customers. This position will be part of the following team: -
Dispatch Team - Mostly you'll be picking orders for our customers, which are then wrapped on pallets and loaded into lorries and vans for delivery. It’s an incredibly busy department with the team picking approximately 8,000 items per day.

You will use your initiative and attention to detail to make sure that you are only packing the very best produce for our customers. Or ensuring only the most robust, cleanest packaging is making it through our recycling process. You may be asked to help in other departments, or muck in and help with keeping the production area clean and tidy, so you will need to be generally enthusiastic and keen to work as part of a team to get the job done.

It would be great if you come to us with some dispatch experience, but otherwise you'll need general production or warehouse experience and a desire to progress into a more skilled role. Attention to detail, ability to work under pressure, and a positive attitude are absolutely essential for this key position.
